Wrecked the runner yesterday

Well the 4runner is wrecked and is pretty bad. Im trying to decide whether to keep it and repair it or just buy another 2nd gen. Another bad part is the car i hit was my friends 1989 landcruiser and it was in mint condition and i may have totaled it.
Now i know you all may think that im a reckless driver because i rear ended my friend but youll have to listen to my story. So me and my friends were on our way to an offroad course. We were driving down this dirt road and i was at the very back. There was so much dust that i couldnt see where i was or how far away me friends were. I thought i was kinda far behind them and out of no where my friends had stopped do to a roadblock sign and i didnt see him untill i was about five feet behind him and baaaaammm i hit him going about 25.
So there is the scoop ill try to get some pics on later if i can figure out how.

Pics of wrecked 4Runners is the next best thing to pics of jacked up lifted 4Runners. Sorry this happened to you. What parts did you damage on yours? There are plenty of rigs being parted out right now on YT.

You're excused, unless you were DUI, but even then it sounded unavoidable. The problem is, most states will find you de facto liable. Hope you and your friend(s) are OK, sorry about your misfortune.

Yep, speed too high for conditions (low visibility). Sorry, but that's the way it works. We feel for you though, dust sucks.

Sad sad story --- It's never good when a 4Runner gets wrecked or even a Land Cruiser. Hopefully everything works out for you and your friend.

ok it turns out that i most likely am not keeping the runner and we are trying to part it. How much would you be willing to give me for the engine it has 164000 miles on it and how would we get it to you.
